For Sale by Owner-Show Ready Checklist

The phone rings. It’s a prospective buyer calling to schedule a showing within the hour. You have worked tirelessly to declutter, polish and repair your home; but everyday life happens and sometimes, you let a few housekeeping details slide. Your home is organized but not quite show-ready. To save you from panicking over last minute showings, we have compiled a super handy For Sale by Owner Show Ready Checklist. Start with one room and go down the list.

Keep a copy of this checklist near the phone, it will help when in a last minute scramble before the potential buyer arrives. If you have kids, give them a copy and assign a room for each to clean. An additional tip, turn the lights on in every room when showing your For Sale by Owner home.
